No. The durability setting controls whether resources survive a broker 
restart.

However, you can mark a queue as exclusive, which will cause it to get 
deleted when the creating connection closes. And marking a queue 
auto-delete will cause it to get deleted when its last consumer 
disappears (which may happen in several ways, including through closing 
a connection).
